Chapter 15: We Have a Traitor

Luke 

The rest of his first year at college went without any problems, making Luke believe something horrible or just plain big was about to happen because that's how life worked.  He, Silena, and Derek were currently walking up Half-Blood Hill in order to start their summer and help train before the big war, whenever that would be.  They were first greeted by Thera who seemed to be enjoying camp a lot more now since she'd made friends with other campers which made Luke happy to see.  She was young, enthusiastic, and caring.  She didn't deserve to be unhappy due to the fact people were scared of her and her parentage.  She walked with them to their cabins and waited for them to unpack their stuff, passing time by asking how their school year went.  Luke told her everything with the exception of finding out that Bryn was Penn.  If Bryn was dead, then it made no difference now because Penn was dead too.

"Any news on Peleus?" Luke queried.

"None that I know of.  I mean, how do you lose a dragon?  Peleus was massive."

He laughed. "That's what I said when I found out.  Come on, it's almost time for dinner." The two demigods met up with Silena and Derek at the dining pavilion.  Chiron came over and greeted them, asked if they'd gotten into any more trouble, and proceeded to tell them there was a meeting after dinner for cabin leaders.  Thera was joining in since she was the only child for Eris, therefore she was automatically cabin leader.

Luke chowed down on his meal which was barbecue tonight.  It was absolutely delicious.  Afterwards, some satyrs led the campers to the campfire while Chiron, Dionysus, and the cabin leaders headed to the Big House.  Everyone took a seat and the centaur began the talk.

"I've called all of you here to discuss the threat of Hannah and her followers.  We've sent in Kira Wallace as a spy to gather information.  So far they've been unsuccessful in finding out what exactly her plans are.  She keeps those under lock and key with only her top advisors.  By the looks of it, she only has two.  One is-"

"Ryan London.  We've had the pleasure of meeting him a few times," Silena grumbled.

"Yes.  Ambitious, strong, and cocky.  It's no wonder why Hannah made him a general.  The second one is more of a mystery.  Only Hannah ever sees this person.  We do not even know if it's a boy or a girl.  Maybe she is a strategist.  Whoever it is, they are under strict security.  Kira has been unable to get close enough to them to find out who it is."

"I say we bring the fight to Hannah.  She's already attacked our borders more than once.  She's taken our dragon.  We need to show her we're a formidable power," Nicole Rodriguez argued.  She was the daughter of Clarisse La Rue and Chris Rodriguez, named after Silena Nicole Beauregard.  She'd taken on most of her mother's traits although she looked more like her father.

"What do you suggest we do?  It's not like we can just waltz up onto whatever cruise ship she's on or blow it up like when Percy and Beckendorf did when they were fighting Kronos," Beau pointed out.  He was the leader of the Aphrodite cabin and turned out to be more involved in the workings of camp and the training than his predecessors.

"We'd have to sneak on.  I'll volunteer to do it," Luke offered.

"I'll join.  The sea is our territory, Hannah or no Hannah," Silena joined in.
